Description Max Hohenegger CLA 2015-09-18 05:47:35 EDT 
By default branches are deleted, if the operation succeeded, but the reference implementation supports keeping the branch like this [1].
$ git flow feature finish foobar -k

This change would be nice to have for Gerrit integration [2], so it is possible to peform post-reviews by repeatedly finishing the feature branch with the squash option.

This should work for feature, release and hotfix branches, but we do not have a dialog for release and hotfix yet. I think we can activate the dialog for those branches in a separate change.
